Do you have generic mailboxes for you sales department, helpdesk or info@yourcompany.com, use Zimbra Shared Mailbox Toolkit to
share those mailboxes with your staff. For long time Zimbra users: this toolkit is meant to bring back family mailboxes to Zimbra 8+.

By default shares are created with SendAs rights and read/write access (rwixd). This allows the user to email on behalf of the shared account and sent mail will be go to the shared account sent folder. An outgoing mail filter and persona is set to achieve this.

Screenshot of Client Zimlet

The client Zimlet will automatically expand the shared mailbox, so the Inbox is displayed instead of No results found.
The client Zimlet will not show duplicated options when selecting FROM address.

Screenshot of additional header

Optionally an additional header is added to the email to identify the user sending email from a shared mailbox. For example it can help finding out what sales person was sending out mail from sales@myzimbra.com. The header can be set via the installer or running su - zimbra -c "zmprov mcf zimbraSmtpSendAddAuthenticatedUser TRUE" and u - zimbra -c "zmmtactl restart".
